:::::::I think this discussion is hampered by a difference in understanding of what "to edit" means. If it means "submit one's desired changes using the edit tab/text box/save button mechanism", then of course PC enables more people to "edit" than SP does. But if it means "independently alter the content of the article as it is displayed to the world", then PC sometimes allows fewer people to edit. In any case there's nothing earth-shattering about PC, unless it's to be used on many more articles than SP now is, since the differences are mainly technical.--[[User:Victor Yus|Victor Yus]] ([[User talk:Victor Yus|talk]]) 18:20, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::Because PC is only used on pages that would be semiprotected otherwise, I don't know of situations where PC allows fewer people to edit in the second sense. If there was a proposal to change lots of pages from unprotected to PC, that would be different, but as things stand the only change is from semiprotected to PC. — Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]] · [[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 18:31, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::That is because you are thinking of the hereandnow, CBM, as opposed to the long-term, where PC will (not could, ''will'') be requested on unprotected articles. —<font color="228B22">[[User:Jéské Couriano|''Jeremy'']] [[User talk:Jéské Couriano|v^_^v]]</font> <sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Jéské Couriano|Bori!]]</small></sup> 19:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
